Hello steemit crew!
Can anyone explain me for which use is this 230 V connector on Mercedes ?
Did Mercedes develop a electric car ? :D

Cool.
It is interesting that under the hood

Thank you @dman57 .Who knows what that really is

Engine block heater?

interesting idea. Thanks for comment!

Plug for engine heating or a battery charger.

built-in battery charger ?

I had a small battery charger bolted in place under the bonnet of my 1972 Citroën DS, because I didn't drive it much in winter and I wanted to keep the battery topped off.

nice idea if you have enough space for it :)

Have you ever seen the size of the bonnet of a DS? You can sleep under it, next to the spare wheel 8-).

hahah now I see after I googled it :D


In winter, going only short distance, the battery would be drained all the time.
Diesel Engines can take quite some energy to start in winter.I had what @orcdu said.

Makes sense. It is really nice thing to have in old diesel's. Thanks for commenting!

Maybe it is some exotic jump starting arrangement:)

Maybe it's main task to confuse passers.. Some of them will thought about it all day or even post it on internet to get an answer?! ;)

Thank you for posting fibra59. Interesting....

Appreciate your support.

Thank you @bleujay ! You're welcome :)

Maybe it is for an indoor heater...cold engine but warm ears ;) and no you not just see it in split...my car looks similar!

It could be. Do you have 230 V connector ? Thanks for your comment !
